  6. FAR FROM POLAND is probably the first American non-fiction film (Godmilow calls it a "drama-tary") to explode cinema verite's mythic claim to be the only trustworthy mode of representation for discussing the real world, and in particular, social and political issues, on film.

  7. Brief Synopsis. Unable to secure visas to return to Poland to film the Solidarity Movement, Godmilow remains in New York City, drawing on letters, television images, clips of film brought back to her and dramatic reenactments to shape a personal meditation on the ability of the filmmaker to portray history.
